Very nice Digikid meant to tell you that I am sorry for running late on the updates!! I just sent an ASRock out to Brazil yesterday...he should have it in about a month. I know you are waiting on an update, but I am still playing catch up on everything...on top of that, dropped a new cpu into my current build today, now all my DRM stuff is screwed...no Zune, cable tv, or anything DRM related...seems to be a common bug with no easy fix...

Sorry. Once I get attached to a log sometimes I am like a kid. Apologies.

Hope everything works out for you....I really do. Strange about that DRM thing....it should still work fine regardless. Really weird.

Yeah, it's a known bug..but there isn't one specific workaround. Sometimes you can get it working other times not..now worries, about to put a Prodigy or two into service soon...

I actually did that to a corner of my XSPC fans for my CPU cable to fit in, but I never thought the entire thing would look so good!
You could even get some really really small white u-channel and make it pop like the corsair fans do.

I was thinking something similar with a piece of stainless steel...not quite sure which way I want to go yet.

Should be exactly the same as an unmodified fan since there is nothing that is affecting the "turbine effect" of the fan.

That's good though! I really like the feedback I get. Even the criticisms help give me new ideas or thoughts on ways to do this better.

So the other night, I couldn't sleep. When that happens, it is pointless to try and stay in bed because my mind will just keep going...so I went down to the shop and here is the result. Please excuse the lack of photos showing the full process, it was 2AM and I wanted to get this part done...

First up, drilled out the 10 rivets holding the front panel on *will have to remove the "legs" to get to the ones on each side. Once that was done, took the panel out and flipped it upside down and reinstalled. All the rivet holes lined up perfectly...

Front panel reinstalled:

I know..silver rivets, I was out of black...rest assured everything will get a touch of paint...

Next up was to cut the bay bracket so it would fit my needs...(forgot to get a photo after I cut it...will get one after it is repainted )

Test fitting...

Drilling holes for the drive bay bracket...

Tapping the holes

Screws in place (will get swapped out with MDPC screws)

Final front panel:

Hope you all like the front panel...As always, comments, critiques, questions are always welcome!
